HC Deb 01 March 1976 vol 906 c417W
Mr. Joseph Dean

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many works contracts in the public building sector have been advertised in the EEC in accordance with British commitments under EEC Directive 71/105; and what is the global monetary value of those contracts.

Mr. Armstrong

In accordance with the requirements of EEC Directive 71/305, 2,368 public sector works contracts have been advertised in the Official Journal of the EEC up to 31st January 1976, by the United Kingdom contract awarding authorities. The global monetary value of these contracts is not known and the information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
